I have rung the company whose van it was and they are contacting the driver for me. Watch this space..

Still the master of the on board shot. Mr Andrew certainly got the hang of the strange contraption quickly!

Thanks Ausitn, I thank Bill has some practice over the years..

brilliant, is that Bill I keep seeing popping his head out. was the red car filming as it seemed to stay alongside the train and love the van flying along filming very funny the things we do to get our film

[ralph5407]

Thanks, yes that would be Bill, I guess that as he is on the right he has to keep popping his out in order to see signals that are positioned for left hand drive....

Not sure about the red car filming but that van should have got some good coverage..

Excellent filming during such conditions, and that White Van was the star of that Ralph, ...let's hope his material shows up...probably had the sack for filming on duty..:o)  5* Bob

Yes for a change I was on the other side. I hope that the guy in the van will post his footage as it should be good considering that he was with us from Colwyn Bay until the line and road part several miles towards Rhyl.
